A little girl who became the public face of US migrant family separations was not taken away from her mother at the US border, says her father.
A photograph of the Honduran toddler sobbing in a pink jacket was snapped at the scene of a border detention.
Time magazine has used the image for its latest cover, depicting President Donald Trump looming over the girl with the caption: "Welcome to America".

President Barack Obama separated parents from their children at the border.
Obama prosecuted mothers for coming to the United States illegally. He fast tracked deportations. And yes, he housed unaccompanied children in tent cities.
For much of the country — and President Donald Trump — the prevailing belief is that Obama was the president who went easier on immigrants.

So about that picture... “Denis said his wife and daughter were never separated by border control agents and remain together.” https://t.co/0kV4Tngr5j”

Border Patrol agent on TIME magazine girl: "I personally went up to the mother and asked her 'Are you doing OK? Is the kid OK?' and she said, 'Yes. She's tired and thirsty. It's 11 o'clock at night.'" https://t.co/zBZBDYs3By
